Directed by Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin) and Kôbun Shizuno (The Journey), the film features the voices of Cristina Valenzuela (Resident Evil: Death Island), Mamoru Miyano (Death Note), Kenta Miyake (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Robbie Daymond (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Swordsmith Village Arc).
Godzilla: Planet of Monsters exhibits inconsistent levels of animation quality. Godzilla's portrayal is impressive, and the science fiction elements are well executed. However, the depiction of Earth, characters, and futuristic technology falls short in some aspects. Nonetheless, the storyline had potential, effectively delivering the insurmountable circumstances. The film's numerous character deaths adds to the persistent sense of desperation. While the ending is somewhat predictable and the twist lacks the intended surprise, it successfully set the stage for a worthwhile sequel.
In summary, Godzilla: Planet of Monsters is an average animated film that caters to fans of the monster universe. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend giving it a watching it once.

Metphies: [to Godzilla Earth] When those fleeting lives destined to die, forget their humbleness and sing praised of their glory, such will shake the very heavens and split the earth, and they shall know the wrath of the divine. The inevitable incarnation of destruction. So, you show yourself at last. Since we last saw each other, it has been 20 years for us and 20,000 years for you. It's been awhile... Oh, King of Destruction.
